Phillies Red Goes Green

The Phillies' award-winning "Red Goes Green" program at Citizens Bank Park is in partnership with ARAMARK and Global Spectrum.

To offset the carbon footprint created by the team's utility power usage at Citizens Bank Park, the Phillies have purchased over 20 million kilowatt-hours of Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) a year, matching 100% of electricity usage with wind and solar generation. Solar is locally sourced through Keystone Solar Project in Lancaster County, PA. 2014 is the 7th straight calendar year that the Phillies have purchased 100% renewable energy.

The Phillies Red Goes Green Team - led by the Phillies Ballgirls and consisting of volunteers from local organizations - collects recyclable cans and bottles throughout the ballpark during home games.

Phil the Can is the "spokescan" for the Red Goes Green program. Phil is an interactive robot who speaks with fans and promotes awareness on ways to go green.

There are over 100 recyclable containers placed throughout the ballpark for fans to utilize and aid in recycling efforts.

Environmentally preferred cleaning agents are used throughout the ballpark, including a cleaning method which utilizes ionized water to replace cleaning agents altogether.
